    Old psu problems?

    Its one of the few parts that I'm still using from my first build in 2008. That along with my disc drive is still functioning. I was thinking of replacing it with This. It has less power on the +12V rail than my current one, but is 80plus gold. I've always heard good things about Seasonic...

    Old psu problems?

    I recently upgraded my video card from a 6950 to a R9 290. My power supply is a pc power & cooling silencer 750, which is about 7 years old. It meets the wattage requirements, and has enough amps on the +12V rail. But I have been experiencing some issues. First of all, my old gpu had an...

    Moto X (Is Out) [8.01.2013]

    If this phone is actually $200, even $300 off contract, it will be the perfect replacement for my Galaxy Nexus. I hope it has great battery life. Personally I don't need 1080p and a quad core SoC, I just want my phone to last all day.

    Strange issues

    So WOR is the same as WOL? I fixed the issue by changing a setting in Windows. Under the properties of the local area connection, I enabled "wake only with magic packet". Whatever that means.

    Strange issues

    I'm not certain. Is that a setting in the bios? I recently got a new motherboard. The two systems aren't on the same network though.

    Strange issues

    Whenever I turn my laptop on, or wake it up from sleep, my desktop comes out of sleep as well. At first I thought it might have been caused by crashplan, my backup program. I have it setup to backup files from my laptop to my desktop. So I uninstalled crashplan, but it still happens. At this...

    z68 motherboard suggestions please

    Thanks for the info. I went with the Asus P8Z68-V-LE. I haven't put anything together yet because I'm waiting for the cpu cooler to arrive. About the RAM, the 8gb kit I bought isn't on the official compatibility list, but it is a G.SKILL GBXL kit. Specifically its this memory. I hope I don't run...

    Budget sandy bridge gaming build

    I've got a pc power & cooling 750W PSU. My concern about that mobo is the lack of an internal usb 3.0 header. Is that mobo a good overclocker?

    upgrade advice needed

    I've heard bad things about the gigabyte z68 boards. Such as poor fan control, and that cold boot loop business. Have you had a good experience with this board?

    z68 motherboard suggestions please

    I'm planning on upgrading to a sandy bridge system, but can't find a motherboard that has all the features I want within my budget. My priorities are: 1. Overclocking. I want a board with great overclocking potential. 2. I want at least two 4-pin fan headers, for a push-pull setup on a...

    upgrade advice needed

    Cool. I'm weighing the pros and cons of upgrading the gpu or moving to sandy bridge. I think I'm going to buy the msi card and just wait for bulldozer or ivy bridge. None of the z68 boards in my price range have all the features I want, and while some am3+ boards do, there are no am3+ processors...

    upgrade advice needed

    I'm looking to upgrade from my radeon hd 4890 so I can play upcoming titles without turning down too many settings. I really don't have a brand preference, but 6950s on newegg include a free copy of Deus Ex 3, which I'd really like to take advantage of. My main question is whether to get a 6950...
